West Indies took the opening test by 90 runs. Pakistan needed 211 to win but collapsed for 120 on day four. The match finished ahead of schedule.
West Indian bowlers dismantled the batting line-up. Justin Greaves took five wickets in a row without giving up a run and finished with five dismissals. Jayden Seales too took five wickets. Their bowling ended Pakistan’s innings, long before the scheduled close of play. Fast bowlers produced most of the damage. Pakistan’s troubles on foreign soil worsened. The win provided West Indies a solid start to the series.
